Try and Say Goodbye

This is my first post about Tryanaury in which I will be trying a ahem modest number of beers.  Then a brief, hopefully humorous write up of them here before Liberté, égalité, beer not tea is sent to the farm to live with uncle Bongo.

It will be totally unedited, hopefully still with photos. It may end in a barely legible rant about how Nestle are total cnuts for taking over Roundtree's and replacing raspberry fruit pastilles with Strawberry. All I ask is that if you read this post and are amused at it or any of the past ramblings here that you leave a comment on this post, saying goodbye.

There's a choice of eight untried beers of different styles from seven breweries (four local, one London, one Cornwall, one Norwegian). There's no work tomorrow and enough snacks left over from Christmas to soak up at least six of these beers. There is enough blood in my body to challenge the gods of Olympus. So let's dust off the goblets and glasses, hide the spirits and take this crappy old blog out for one last buggering blast.

This will not be a budget special and thus all beers were sourced from a local shop for local people and cost twelvety.

Blackjack's Jabberwocky. Pale Ale 4.1%
Citrus flavours mix with tropical fruit and spiky.  No nonsense.

Dunham Massey's Milk Stout. Sweet stout 4.0%
Dark treacle then dryness along with charcoal notes .  A sweet treat.

Stubborn Mule Brewery's IPA. Single Hop, US IPA 5.7%
grapefruit then bicarbonate soda.  Standard.

Thirst Class's Raspberry Saison. Fruit Farmbeer 6.4%
Slightly sour, subtly spiced definitely raspberry totally tasty.  Awesome Saucesome.

BlackJack's Barleywine. British Barleywine 9.6%
Aged in white wine barrels for a year and it shows.  Groundbreaking. 

 Amundsen Bryggeri & Spiseri's Dessert in a Can, Imperial Stout 11.6%

You open the can and you get the full on aroma of toasted marshmallow.  Tastes like Irished up chocolate pudding from heaven.  Like okay I suppose ;)
